The night wind is coming down, and the temperature is gradually getting colder. The hour was getting short, and the leaders took their leave of the Overseer.

"Old Seven, Old Ten, Cheng Qianhu and Xiao Xiaoshen stay, and the rest go back to settle down."

"Old Seven" and "Old Ten" are the names that the Overseer is accustomed to for the seven and ten heads on weekdays. It's called like this, concise and intimate.

A few of them understood that the Overseer had something to command, so they stayed in their seats and did not leave. After the others left the South Courtyard one after another, Leng Qingtang ordered:

"Girl, go get something."

Gu Yunxi went to the governor's house and took out the brocade box that someone from the West Factory had sent in the morning, put it on the table outside the courtyard, opened the lid, and showed the earrings inside to everyone.

"This is Minglan sent someone to send Yunxi." Seeing that everyone was surprised, Leng Qingtang explained clearly.

"What? This girl's daughter has been exposed? Or did you find it for the people in the West Factory?! ”

Cheng Wanli exclaimed, pulled Gu Yunxi over and looked at her ears with a nervous expression, then clenched his fist and slammed it into the other big hand, reacting quite violently.

"I said at the beginning that there will be an accident sooner or later when I bring this girl into the East Factory," Cheng Wanli said angrily: "This is a bone eye, but I was caught by Minglan of the West Factory again!" ”

Gu Yunxi was stunned and aggrieved, his pink lips trembled, and he lowered his head silently.

"You can't blame Yunxi!"

Cheng Wanli's resentful words sounded extremely harsh to Leng Qingtang, and he immediately pulled his face dissatisfied, and replied to him in a blunt tone:

"What kind of person is Minglan, the most between Ben and you? Clear! He is using Yunxi to suppress the governor and suppress the governor's east factory! ”

Jiang Xiong, the head of the seventh block, looked calm, twisted his thumb and index finger on the goatee twisted into a twisted braid on his chin, looked at the pair of gold earrings and said casually:

"According to the subordinates, it is only a matter of time before Yun Yatou is seen through her daughter's body. She was born with a beautiful appearance and a graceful posture, even if she wears men's clothes, there is always a difference between her and a real man. The subordinates have heard an allusion, many years ago, there was a lady of Dirong in the previous dynasty. She joined the army for her husband, and she disguised herself as a man and stayed in the barracks for 12 years without being recognized. Everyone can reflect, how unbearable is Mrs. Dirong's appearance? ”

Xiao Xiaoshen on the side couldn't cry or laugh:

"Hey, my good seventh uncle, you're too good at talking."

Jiang Xiong is indeed very good at speaking. The seemingly casual chatter not only surrounded Gu Yunxi, helped her find a ladder to get off the stage, but also praised her for her good looks in disguise.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished saying this, Leng Qingtang's iron-like stiff and hard face suddenly eased a lot.

"Don't make a fuss, I'm talking about serious business." Jiang Xiong glanced at Xiao Xiaoshen with a smile and continued: "Why don't you take this opportunity to let Yun Yatou resume her women's clothes, so as not to cause people to talk about it in the future." ”

Leng Qingtang's sly eyes were misty, and he smiled: "It's good, it's just ...... Since the establishment of the East Factory, it has indeed confiscated girls. ”

Jiang Xiong sneered, understanding that the overseer's words were clearly meant for Cheng Qianhu, so he simply followed his meaning and continued to persuade:

"Not to mention the past, now that you are the Overseer, you will naturally have the final say on the rules."

Cheng Wanli snorted, twisted his big black face to the side and sulked, and stopped paying attention to them.

Yuan Qian, the head of the ten blocks, stared at the gold earrings on the table for a moment, and suddenly raised his head to ask the overseer for his life, and the childish boy's face was full of unhesitating determination:

"Overseer, Minglan didn't look for Yun Ya's stubble once or twice. How to deal with him, the subordinates are just waiting for your words! As long as you command, I will take the dark night to attack the West Factory at night, and promise not to leave any trace of us! ”

"You don't have to attack at night. It's too wasteful to use a dark night force against the West Factory......"

Leng Qingtang spoke leisurely, and his eyelashes hung down at a small angle, covering the evil and strange light in his deep eyes, making it difficult to distinguish emotions.

At this moment, he sat comfortably on the chair with his legs folded, and a cold smile appeared on his graceful lips.

"Where is the use of secret guards against that rabble in the West Factory? As long as the six of us ...... That's enough! ”

……

One morning two days later, Xiao Xiaoshen completed the things ordered by the overseer and personally sent them to Gu Yunxi's house.

Three trays, respectively placed a set of light lotus lotus flower sleeveless slim jacket and aqua blue tulle trolling skirt, a pair of honey-colored cloud silk embroidered shoes, rouge gouache and a few chic headdresses.

Seeing Gu Yunxi's sullen look, Xiao Xiaoshen grabbed her with pity and asked with concern:

"Good sister, are you going to see Minglan in the afternoon, are you afraid?"

Gu Yunxi nodded silently.

Xiao Xiaoshen pulled out the chair, let Yunxi sit down, squatted at her feet, and comforted:

"Don't be afraid, Minglan is the kind of person, the more you are afraid of retreating, the more he has to advance. In the past, he liked to bully those delicate-looking little eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and our overseer has long wanted to rectify him, this time you must cooperate with the overseer to complete the task. Not only for himself, but also for those palace people who have been humiliated. ”

"Well, I know! The Overseer said, "You will watch over me in the dark, so I am not afraid." It's just ......" Gu Yunxi wanted to speak and stopped.

"Just what? If there's anything you don't understand about this mission, ask now. ”

"I just don't understand...... Isn't Minglan a eunuch? How...... How could it still ...... Coveting the beauty of the girl's house......"

Gu Yunxi swallowed, and finally put forward the question in his heart, and then blushed his whole melon seed face, looking extremely embarrassed.

Xiao Xiaoshen was "poofed", looked at her and asked with a smile: "This is what makes you feel incomprehensible?" ”

"You—you don't want to answer, even if I didn't ask!" Gu Yunxi was annoyed by his careless state, and gritted his teeth in anger.

"Don't be angry, I told you you can't do it?"

Xiao Xiaoshen thought that at the moment, Sister Yunxi was curious about the man's body, which meant that she was growing up. Since she asked, it was better to explain to her with reservations, and it could be regarded as helping her naïve little brain to open up a little bit and push her on the road of her continuous growth.

"Sister Yunxi, listen well," Xiao Xiaoshen cleared his throat and his expression became solemn: "The eunuchs in the palace, they have removed a certain part of their bodies, but they can't marry and have children like normal men." However, they will still have an obsession and desire for girls, especially beautiful girls. I say that, do you understand? ”

"Longing?" Gu Yunxi repeated, blinking his shining apricot eyes as if he didn't understand, and the two thin and curved eyelashes immediately trembled twice.

Seeing her half-understood expression, Xiao Xiaoshen further explained: "It's the idea of seeing a girl you like, wanting to hug her, kissing her, and even wanting to be married to her." ”

Hold her, kiss her......

Gu Yunxi was suddenly silent, and his head tilted to the side. Xiao Xiaoshen's words reminded her of her own overseer, Leng Qingtang.

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, in his room, didn't he just hug her and put her on his lap and hugged her tightly?

"Yunxi? Sister Yunxi! ”

Xiao Xiaoshen raised his hand and shook it in front of her eyes as he called.

For a long time, she lowered her eyes thoughtfully, and the two crystal snow cheeks burned inexplicably in silence, and he couldn't help but start worrying about whether he was talking too much, and he would make her angry for a while.

"Yunxi!" He tried to raise his voice and screamed.

Gu Yunxi's body shook back to his senses, and he panted and kept patting his chest with his hand, blaming him: "Why are you screaming so loudly, scaring me!" ”

"What were you thinking?"

"I ...... I didn't think about anything......" Gu Yunxi was even more shy, and his expression was very unnatural.

Only she knew that all she was thinking about at the moment was the Overseer. In any case, Gu Yunxi would not have the slightest resistance or disgust towards the Overseer's behavior. Is it because he's too handsome, or is it because ...... Do you like him?

When this thought flashed through his mind, Gu Yunxi was suddenly ashamed.

Xiao Xiaoshen didn't care about the change in her expression, and was still thinking to herself:

"So you understand now, right? Even if the eunuch is clean, the lustful person is still lustful, this is nature, and it can't be changed, just like Minglan! ”

After squatting for too long, Xiao Xiaoshen was really uncomfortable, so he stood up.

"Got it!"

Gu Yunxi nodded, and then a new question arose, and he looked up at Xiao Xiaoshen one by one:

"You just said that Minglan bullied the little palace maid and the little eunuch. Isn't he all clean, how did he bully those boys and girls? ”

Burst......

Suddenly, Xiao Xiaoshen looked extremely embarrassed.

"W-I can't really say ...... this."

When he met Gu Yunxi's inquiring eyes, Xiao Xiaoshen's white face quickly turned red.

Before, although he had heard a lot of secrets about the palace people, his Yunxi sister was an unmarried girl after all, and some things must not be told to her too much.

However, seeing that her eyes were chasing after her, Xiao Xiaoshen's sparkling eyes like ripples of water made Xiao Xiaoshen unbearable, so he had to prevaricate:

"I, I'm not pure, and I can't know that much detail. If you want to find out, you should also ask a clean father-in-law. ”

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

Suddenly, Xiao Xiaoshen realized his gaffe, his face suddenly turned pale, and he immediately rubbed in front of her, looking uneasy:

"Sister Yunxi, don't talk nonsense about what I'm talking to you now, especially with our Overseer! Let him know that I have broken you, and he must pick my skin and drive me out of the East Factory! ”

"Don't worry, I asked you first, how could I betray you and mention it to others everywhere!"

Gu Yunxi assured Xiao Xiaoshen that the red on his cheeks not only did not retreat, but became a few thicker, and the coquettish color spread to the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Xiao Xiaoshen let out a long breath, feeling that the energy in his whole body had been overdrawn at this moment, and this state seemed to be more grinding than completing the most difficult task.

"Brother Xiao Shen, in our palace, are there many fathers-in-law who have found the right food?"

Suddenly, Gu Yunxi asked, but his expression was stunned and staring at the upper of his boots.

"There are a lot of them." Xiao Xiaoshen replied seriously: "The palace is full of places where people step on people and people eat people. Too many people are tired of the days in the palace, but they can't go out, so they can only find each other's companions and snuggle up to keep warm. Eunuchs are not like palace maids, and when they are released, they can still allow a family and live a peaceful life. Even if a eunuch marries a wife, he can't live a normal life, so most of them are looking for the right food in the palace, sitting at a table and watching each other eat, probably ...... I feel a little warmer in my heart. ”

"What about the Overseer? Except for the good friend in the former palace, the overseer has never looked for a match? ”

Gu Yunxi also got up at this time, looking at Xiao Xiaoshen aggressively, and his red little face was full of expressions eager to seek answers.

Xiao Xiaoshen noticed how abnormal her behavior was, and replied with a smile:

"The Overseer's friendship was married very early, and they were separated because of the age difference. Be of good cheer, Overseer...... There is no anti-food now. It's hard to say whether there will be any in the future! ”

Looking at Gu Yunxi's face full of embarrassment, Xiao Xiaoshen could only snicker.

"I ...... I don't have anything to worry about......" Gu Yunxi muttered wistfully and glanced at him.

Xiao Xiaoshen stretched his waist and stretched his muscles: "Okay, if you don't ask, I'll go and do things." At noon, remember to change into the clothes I brought you, and the Overseer will come to see you when he is done. ”

"Got it."

After Xiao Xiaoshen left, Gu Yunxi walked to the front of the tray, picked up a bead flower and looked at it repeatedly.

The first time I go on a mission, I feel a little nervous. Thinking that this was for the governor, she secretly warned herself to stay calm.

In the past, the Overseer was the most protective of her and gentle to her. Now, it's time for her to repay him—
